This for ufe is much fuch another colour in yel-
low as vermillion in red, and will ftand equally
well with that. It is a preparation of mercurv,
hy calcining it together with oil of vitriol, and is
much brighter than any other yellow uled in oil,
except king's yellow. The preparation:
"Take of pure quickhlver, and oil of vitriol,
<; each fix pounds. Put them into a retort ; to
which, being placed in a fand bath, fit on a re-
t; cciver : and diftil them with a ftrong fire, while
any fumes appear to rife into the receiver : urging
4- it at la ft with as great a heat as the furnace will
<; bear. When the retort is again cold, remove it
" out of the fand bath : and having broken it. take
'•" the white mafs, which will be found at the bot-
" torn of it, and break it to a orols powder ; and
il having put it in a glafs mortar, pour water on it :
" which will immediatelv convert it to a yellow
<; colour.
